Chidi James & Crista Gantz: VSB EGAD VA Report
The podcast welcomes two distinguished guests this week as Vice President of CLE Karl Doss hosts an engaging forum on EGAD VA -- the Virginia State Bar’s 2025 report on “Entry, Growth, and Distribution of Virginia Attorneys.” Joining us are former VSB President Chidi James, partner at Blankingship and Keith in Fairfax (and new VLF Fellow and Board member!), and Crista Gantz, Director of Access to Legal Services for the VSB. Both served on the EGAD Committee and ably explore with us the Commonwealth’s critical legal-desert problem, counter myths around the Virginia bar exam, and illuminate other findings of this landmark report. <br /> <br />Beyond the Episode <br /><ul><li>Get to know <a href="https://www.blankingshipandkeith.com/attorneys/chidi-i-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chidi James</a> and Crista Gantz*. </li><li>EGAD Report <br /><a href="https://vsb.org/Site/Site/news/news-items/20251202-EGAD-report.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://vsb.org/Site/Site/news/news-items/20251202-EGAD-report.aspx</a> </li><li>Know an outstanding colleague? <a href="https://virginialawfoundation.org/fellows/nominate-a-fellow/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nominate them</a> for the VLF Fellows Class of 2027 by June 15! <br /><a href="https://virginialawfoundation.org/fellows/nominate-a-fellow/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://virginialawfoundation.org/fellows/nominate-a-fellow/</a> </li></ul><br /> * Virginia State Bar's Access to Legal Services Director Crista Gantz develops, promotes, and coordinates the VSB’s pro bono and access to justice initiatives.

Trevor Cox
Trevor S. Cox joins CEO Alison Martin for a delightful conversation about public service, appellate advocacy, and the pleasure of hard-copy books. Growing up in history-steeped Lexington, this Hunton litigator once considered becoming a historian until his senior thesis at Harvard—on Lincoln’s first attorney general—enticed him toward the law. He would go on to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court (surprisingly a surreally intimate space!) and serve as former Acting Solicitor General of Virginia.<br /><br />Beyond the Episode <br /><ul><li>Get to know <a href="https://www.hunton.com/people/trevor-cox" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Cox</a>...and his memorable case before the U.S. Supreme Court: <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/584/16-1027/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Collins vs. Commonwealth of Virginia</a>, 584 U.S. ___ 2018 </li></ul><br /><ul><li>Inducted as a new VLF Fellow in 2026, Trevor serves as chair of Virginia CLE’s Publications subcommittee.
